Muse electronic Model Eleven manual Audio DRC, Virtual Surround, Channel Level, Video Adjust

be visible now. The three choices are “Audio DRC”, “Virtual Surround” and “Channel Level”.

Audio DRC

This menu option has two choices’ either “Off” (default) or “On”. Audio DRC is a circuit that reduces the total dynamic range of the audio from discs encoded with Dolby Digital. Normally, this setting would be “Off” in order to provide the maximum dynamic range possible. When listening at very low levels, such as might be done to not disturb others in the household late at night, the use of the DRC control will raise low levels and reduce high levels making the entire audio content more even and easier to understand. This effect is most effective for DVD Video discs and least effective for music content. Again, it should be noted that the Audio DRC control affects only discs that have Dolby Digital audio coding. In order to change the DRC setting use the “Left” and “Right” navigation keys to change the setting to or from “Off” to “On”.

Virtual Surround

To access the “Virtual Surround” menu choice, use the “Down” navigation key on the remote. When selected, “Virtual Surround” will be highlighted. The choices for this control are “Off” (default) and “V/SRS TruSurround”. The use of this feature is based upon personal choice and the configuration of your system. If your Model Eleven has either of the multi- channel options installed and you have configured your system for multi-channel operation, “Virtual Surround” is not supported. If, however, your system is equipped with only

two loudspeakers, then “Virtual Surround” can be used to simulate lateral speaker locations. This effect is enabled when both the “Virtual Surround” option is selected and a disc with multi-channel material is being played. “Virtual Surround” is most effective when playing theatrical discs and least effective when playing music ones. Selection of either mode is accomplished while “Virtual Surround” is highlighted via the “Right” and “Left” navigation keys.

Channel Level

See “Initial Settings” menu “Channel Level” submenu for information on this section.

Video Adjust

Be certain that the Model Eleven is not in shift mode (blue LED illuminated) by pressing the “Release” button on the remote. Now, highlight and select the “Video Adjust” submenu by using the navigation and select keys of the remote. There are three possible entries for this section. “Standard” sets the video levels (white, black and chrominance) to their factory defaults. “Memory 1” and “Memory 2” each allow for individual adjustments for each of the three video levels. You can adjust and recall any of these settings at anytime. It is recommended that the “Standard” setting be used when calibrating your video device. The two memory settings can be used for video contents that dose not conform to a calibrated video device.

To exit the “Video Adjust” submenu use the Return remote command by first pressing “Shift” followed by “Return”. Remember to press release once the main menu is displayed.

Other Home Menu choices will be covered later in this manual. You are now ready to begin to use your Model Eleven. Despite the apparent complexity of the setup section just covered, day-to-day use of the Model Eleven is very simple. You will not likely need to revisit these setup menus unless your system configuration changes.
